I like Mary but we don't get to vote in Ireland so I reckon she would not get as many as other people... I hope they open up the phone lines for us to give her a fair chance

It's not fair that Ireland can't vote. Why is that exactly?

X Factor's Cher fibs over lyrics

X FACTOR favourite Cher Lloyd has been caught fibbing.

The 17-year-old said on Sunday's show she made up rap lyrics for her rendition of Coldplay's Viva la Vida.

Viewers recognised them from a cover version by US act Swizz Beatz.

Madonna has reportedly agreed to appear on 'The X Factor'.

The 52-year-old singer is said to have verbally agreed to appear on the ITV1 talent search show, and will kick off the live finals of the competition, which take place on October 9.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Madonna would be the perfect performer to kick off the last stage of the competition."

The opening act of last year's show was Robbie Williams - his first appearance on British TV for three years, singing comeback single 'Bodies' - received a mixed reception after he appeared wide eyed, and gave a somewhat shambolic performance.

It was speculated that the singer - who had a spell in rehab during his time away from the spotlight - had been high on drugs as he appeared, but he laughed off such claims, blaming his performance on nerves and coffee.

He said: "People are alluding to the fact that I may have been high on something but I can only say I wasn't - because I wasn't.

"Unless someone spiked my drink and I would have noticed. It's the same as the deer in headlights, the deer's not on anything other than fear. I'd had a few coffees before I went on, that's all."

Cher needs help grooming especially those eyebrows

I'm not fussed with it either but I'm just pig sick of the amounts of reality shows on TV. What I've seen Cher and Gamu have had the most publicity maybe it's the x-factor's way of trying to get the public to vote for them. From the bootcamp shows my favourite was Matt who sung the Roberta Flack song.

X Factor bosses are to screen the longest edition of the show yet - with a bum-numbing two-and-a-half hour marathon.

The programme on October 9 will be the first of the live shows for this series as the 12 finalists take to the stage to perform.
An ITV spokesman confirmed the show is the longest in the history of the series.
The increased length is understood to be due to a "surprise" for viewers.
Despite the lengthy duration of the show, it will not involve a clash with BBC One rival Strictly Come Dancing that evening.

Last year the frequent overlap between the shows drew repeated criticism. But the October 9 edition of Strictly finishes at 7.40pm, in time for the start of The X Factor.
